Incredibly bummed out this isn't at the top, it's really one of the few examples of how the right score actually heightens a viewing experience, and isn't just something slapped over the top by lazy film-makers to simply tell you when to have an emotional reaction.

But The OC had really good throughout the series. They had some pretty good indie folk music, and some good punk as well. I think they actually got The Subways to play some of their music as a different band in one episode!

For original soundtrack Game of Thrones obviously takes the cake. Ramin Djawadi does a great job on that show.

Similarly, The Wire has a pretty good soundtrack too. The unique part about The Wire though is that they never overlay music on top of a scene, except for end of season montages. Instead all the music you hear is the music people in the scene would hear, so it's from the radio, TV, etc. Also the producer actually asked people around Baltimore what the hot underground songs were and made sure to play those in the scenes. Not the best by choice of songs per se, but they had pretty unique way of applying it.

Cowboy Bebop has one of the best soundtracks, ranging from the song "Space Lion" to "Live in Baghdad". It has jazz, rock, classical types and and all. Every jam in it is a personal favorite. It is what got me into jazz as well!

I know reddit isn't crazy about it, but I absolutely love Mad Men. One of the best parts of the show is the beautiful use of period music throughout the series. This scene in particular comes to mind, I think it's one of the most brilliant moments in television history and the music is just perfect.

Signed in just to say HEY ARNOLD HEY ARNOLD HEY ARNOLD. It does a perfect job of setting the mood in every single episode, and aside from the show being amazing in itself, there's just a very specific feel to the music.

Stargate SG-1/Atlantis was pretty alright for score music. I also liked a ton of music from Weeds(mostly the ending guest songs), and the show Unforgettable - despite being very short-lived and ... forgettable - had some great tunes as well.

Mad Men soundtrack by David Carbonara. Jazzy in upbeat moments and sad in emotional moments, the soundtrack is beautifully composed to perfectly capture the mood of each situation. Along with the great cinematography the score elevates the show to be very cinematic.

I love that Fairly Odd Parents is still a musically played through show. Not many cartoons still use music throughout the entire episode without stopping. It gives it a more classic Looney Toons kind of style.
